Learning Framework

Music

Students thrive in a rich environment that caters for students of all musical tastes. Students in elective courses study music ranging from classical
to popular, through active and integrated learning experiences.

For musicians who work in a classical style, Ravenswood has two full-size concert grand pianos, experienced musicians running Master Classes, a
Symphony Orchestra and a number of Bands,
String and Vocal ensembles, to gain valuable performance experience.

In a more contemporary genre, students use technology, utilising the latest software and hardware recording facilities in a dedicated music technology
laboratory, and on their own devices. Students use the software Pro Tools and Sibelius, to help them realise their compositional ideas.

Year 10

Music is an elective course from Year 9 and learning experiences are catered to students’ individual areas of interest. Music students are key
members of a variety of bands and ensembles, and perform throughout the year at a number of school events and occasions.

Students undertake a range of activities in the following learning areas:

These elective options allow all students who have an interest in music, to pursue their passions and complete a course that is rewarding and highly
engaging.

By studying music, students broaden their emotional experiences and learn to fully engage in our contemporary multimodal society, by building a
deeper understanding of sound and how meaning can be made through sound.

International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma

Students studying the IB Diploma at Standard Level, can choose to pursue their own interests by selecting one of the following options:

Solo Performance

Ensemble Performance

Composition and Arranging.

Without a pre-requisite to performing music, the IB Diploma offers students who are not strong performers, an opportunity to excel in other musical
areas.

Students wishing to study the IB Diploma at Higher Level, complete both Performance and Composition electives.
